Quitting a 8 year marijuana habit… suggestions?

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 20:02:57 +0000

I’m into day 3 of abstaining from smoking after 8 years of everyday use. I’m doing OK, but suffering insomnia, sweats, anxiety, anger and depression. I have told myself for several years now “I need a break, I need to quit.” I took a break here a there but for the most part they didn’t last more then 5 days. Now I feel it is time.

I think of how much money I’ve spent these past 8 years on drugs in general, and it’s a slap in the face that I realized I could’ve bought a house cash. $50 a day habit adds up, plus my weekend drug abuse of other substances which add ontop. My motivation to do anything was diminished due to my mood being satisfied with drugs.

I refuse to go out so I remain bored all day because 95% of my friends smoke and the ones that don’t, don’t really hang out cause of full-time jobs. I think about smoking whenever my mind isn’t occupied doing something, sometimes even during. My mind feels more “cloudy” now then it did when I was using…

How have others coped? I guess what I am asking is, if you could please share your recovery process and your withdrawal symptoms and when they subsided. Anyone who could share their experiences I would greatly appreciate it.

I used to smoke tons back in 09 from february to late may and then i got severly depressed and stopped, i’ve been clean for almost 8 months now but a few years back before i read in a panflit that it “takes up to 1 year for 100% of the symptoms/problems to go away”
Well lately i haven’t been feeling happy, not depressed. but just “eh/ok”
Any ideas about whats going on?
